For those who need their dose of young actor Leonardo DiCaprio, this two-part documentary disc has plenty of material on the Titanic superstar. The first show, titled Portrait of Leonardo: The Kid Who Took Hollywood, consists of photos, bio, filmography, and interviews with fans, film-industry types, and fellow actors including Claire Danes and Johnny Depp. It also features scenes from DiCaprio's controversial film Don's Plum and has psychological insight on DiCaprio from the ubiquitous Dr. Joyce Brothers.

The second show, Leonardo DiCaprio: In His Own Words, consists of interviews with DiCaprio about his various films, including Titanic, The Man in the Iron Mask, and The Basketball Diaries. Costars such as Billy Zane, Robert DeNiro, and Sharon Stone and director James Cameron also put in their two cents about the talented star. A full two hours on and about this worldwide sensation, this quick-fix DVD fills the order for the most dedicated DiCaprio fans. --Shannon Gee

3.0 out of 5 stars Outdated, January 25, 2005

By	Shirin Treadwell "Smiley Shirin" (Rockville, MD, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For those who wish to see Leonardo in numerous interviews before he starred in The Beach, this is the DVD for you. If you can ignore the 80's-style teeny-bopper music and the interviews with 13-year old fans, the DVD can be an interesting array of information about the star. However, such information comes as much in the form of gossip as genuine research. All in all, the DVD's efforts to portray an accurate picture of the star fall too short of the callibre of his present endeavors and his quality as a current actor and philanthropist.
